Diana Palumbo

After Paterson, Diana lived and raised her family in Wayne, NJ until moving to Toms River in 1997. Throughout her life, she was deeply beloved—known for a steady devotion to family, a faithful spirit, and a hard-working determination that shaped everything she did.

For many years, Diana served as Vice President/Treasurer for Ramapo Bank, a role she carried with diligence and care until her retirement in 1997. Her years of service reflected a quiet strength and steadfast sense of responsibility that earned the trust of those who worked with her.

Diana was married to the love of her life, Albert. She is survived by her four daughters, Donna Marie Palumbo, Jayme Emanuelli, Lisa Smith and Karen Meerholz, as well as 9 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. Above all else, Diana cherished time spent with her children and grandchildren, offering them unwavering love and devoted presence.

Diana found joy in community and friendship, enjoying playing Bocce, Line Dancing, Shuffleboard, and being a part of the Woman's Club at Holiday City West. These simple pleasures, shared with others, were part of the faithful and full-hearted way she lived.

A Memorial Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday July 7, 2026 10 am at St. Maximilian Kolbe RC Church, Toms River.
